Is DPS'ing as a Healer Vote Kickable?

[Neophyte]

It sounds like Sylve is talking about players who are trying their best but maybe aren't playing top notch, while Neophyte is talking about a bump on a log auto-following the party and contributing nothing, and responding to each other as if they've swapped what kind of players they're talking about. I think the discrepancy here is intention/effort vs outright skill.


If a player is trying their best, but are using imperfect rotations/forgetting to use certain cooldowns or optimizing their downtime as a healer by throwing in DPS when they're safely able to do so, I feel like you could call them a 'good player' in terms of the fact that they're trying, but perhaps they're lacking in the skill department (I refer to skill as in skill you can improve through practice, not innate skill where they're simply "dumb") and just need more practice or some advice. Unskilled, sure, but they're trying.

However, if a player is deliberately just tagging along and doing absolutely nothing, or outright sits at the entrance doing nothing, then within the context of this game they are a bad player. This game is about cooperation with other players. Your subscription fee entitles you access to the game's servers and the ability to create a character on it, it does not inherently entitle you to play however you want despite (or even TO spite) your fellow players without any form of consequence leveled at you by said fellow players.

My evil twin. D: (Or wait, am I the evil one?)

I think I made it pretty clear that I talk about players "refusing" to do specific things, although it would make everything smoother/faster/safer (=better); and instead idle or repeatedly do "unneccessary" things (like overhealing with Cure II a tank with 21.000/23.000 HP).

I already said: Don't call the players bad, call their actions bad (if they're bad).
If you have a player who does countless "bad" actions, then we don't have to discuss about the label for that player I think.
Also this is nothing personal. It's just an evaluation of the performance of a specific player.
As said, I don't kick any players usually anyway and because of the low receptivity of some players I don't even mention it (unless it looks like he really just doesn't know better). But I always rate their actions and (in conversation later on) I'd might summarize this under "bad player" .
